It's just not used gratuitously. And, yes, the most booze I ever saw at a party was in Mountain View, Arkansas, a dry county.

Anyway, the song is getting better. The lyrics are very "bluegrass" to me. Maybe some of the Kentucky moonshine stayed in your head.

LOL.Maybe so.

Anyway, your suggestion regarding the first verse ius definitely much better
